Quick Elder Scrolls 6 Update

It's no surprise that fans of the Elder Scrolls franchise are clamoring for information about the upcoming sixth installment, Elder Scrolls 6. Though Bethesda won't confirm when it will arrive, there are certain things we do know from rumors that have circulated over the years.

Release Date Likely Three Years Out

While So far Bethesda has only confirmed that development on the game is underway and not shared a specific release date. However, rumors suggest that Elder Scrolls 6 could be released sometime in 2023 or 2024. This is based on speculations gleaned from recent Bethesda announcements and some insider knowledge.

Next-Generation Technology Necessary

The fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls was an incredibly massive game, with an in-game world larger than any before seen in a video game; Skyrim alone had over 180 dungeons and 32 cities to explore. It stands to reason then — given Bethesda’s recent investments into next-generation gaming technology — that any future games will require similar tech if they are going to be anything like its predecessors in scope and detail. It's also likely we may also see a new generation of hardware accompanying development for Elder Scrolls' latest entry.

Set Somewhere in Tamriel

Obviously this is still mostly speculation as there hasn't been anything definitively announced regarding which part of Tamriel or timeframe this game will be set against compared to other Elder Scrolls’ titles such as Morrowind or Oblivion. Knowing how vast its world map can be it's certainly possible this new entry — like those before it — could pick anywhere within Tamriel as its setting letting players explore yet another new area of fantastic Tamriel culture and lore.

Conclusion

Until more official details are revealed by Bethesda, fans can only speculate about what Elder Scrolls 6 might look like and where it might take us inside the realm of fantasy RPG perfection knowns as Tamriel! With current rumors suggesting a release date sometime after 2020 however, all we can really do is keep our eyes peeled for further company news or announcements leading up to its eventual release window - whenever that may be!
